Matt, you are awesome. This kilt did, indeed, have remnants of a band of elastic sewn across the back of the pleats. Because rubber-based elastic loses its elasticity after just a few years, we couldn't tell if it was supposed to stretch or not.

I've entered into negotiations with the owner of that kilt. If it comes into my possession, I will post some detailed pictures of it - front, back, some of the inside (because some liner stitching has come undone.)
